Dev created Build challenges

I think this could be fun, yeah. Make it like the Shrine of Secrets, two rotating challenges for Survivor and Killer respectively that give a new Perk build every week and potentially let you try out Perks you don't own. It'd be a pretty fun way to mix things up.

Also, it does sound like it could be a fun and interesting weekly challenge! My only concern is that you might end up with repetitive matches when everyone is attempting the challenge.

I agree. Imagine the weekly challenge for everyone would include running No Mither. If one of my teammates runs this perk from time to time, because they want to challenge themself or just feel like it. Sure, that's alright. They can go for it. I don't mind. But if I can expect to see this perk in most of my survivor games for the week just because everyone wants to get their bonus points, I don't know.. guess I'll be playing more Killer for the next 7 days.

Long story short: To avoid sudden increases in perk usages that might affect the overall gameplay or lobby times negatively, the suggested perk build should be random to everyone.

Sounds a bit like the challenges from Diablo 3, where you need to play someone elses build and finish a rift within a given amount of time. Would be great, I would also like that as an additional challenge. They said they think about a rework of the dailies or are working on it. I would definitely vote for adding that as a weekly challenge. There are builds enough so it doesn't get repetitive, players could even send builds in and suggest related ToDo's for the match, and they do a short review of which to add.

Like "Spirit with Prayer Beads, Ruin, Surveillance -> get at least 1 gen grab"

or "Yui or Ash with Breakout, MoM and Styptic -> get one survivor to wiggle free while you apply the breakout effect on him"

I wouldn’t see it only as a daily challenge. The player can use the randomsetup every game and get so a lot of different settings and it’s a nice way to earn more bloodpoints :-)

So the game has a new mechanic and you don’t see the same metaperks in every match

Just imagine if builds gets requested which encourages bad or an overall annoying gameplay. Endgame-Week where every kilelr runs noed, remember me, blood warden and rancor.

Switching the meta isn't that exciting also from a solo survivor perspective it's not helpful if people running perks which won't increase the quality of games. Don't get me wrong I don't like the DS/Unbreakable combo. There are so many perks and builds which are just awful to run. People stil lrun stealth builds. And it's okay that just a tiny little amount of people doing that but you won't win games with stealth. Since Whispers stealth isn't even an relyable option. Or perks like Better Together. It's not a good strategy.

If you tell me the devs would rework the shrine to a big thing where every perk is listed and viable under different conditions and every week some perks costs a little bit less, okay.

But rewarding people for playing bad designed perks? Making games even more rough especially in low ranks? And tbh would that add true variety?

Normally players skill level increase over time in different games but not in dbd. No offense but I am also playing this game since Nov 16 and the survivor skill level ist the exact same they just have way less strong tools to compensate this. And before we encourage the whole playerbase playing weak/silly/dumb builds how about telling people how to play good?

I mean the developers just added an indicator that trying to unhook yourself is actually killing you if you fail. But why do people did this? I am not sure but probably because of the tutorial. It literally tells you: Unhook yourself and the game automatically struggles for you. You don't have to wonder if all new players just take their 3 chances and die.

Next examble: cleansing a dull gives you 1000 points. gens 1250? flashlight safes 400? 500?

Most players still don't know how to play correctly and then introducing a reward for playing a specific perk build? Sorry but it's alsready frustrating enough seeing people playing awful while they're running perks which won't help them improving at all.

And the meta is changing slightly. I see way more survivor running Kindred, Detectives Hunch and Bond. I love this. Because it helps them so much making good game decisions based on the informations they get. Im seeing people running vault build more often than before also Spine Chill on its own got a slight comeback. Adrenaline isn't that present than 1-2 years ago where literally everyone was running it and many killer players got pissed. Inner Strenght. Such a good perk especially for people who likes doing totems, preparing, playing efficient.

if you tell me reworking the Shrine as whole and making special offers every week so people can overthink buying this perk, okay. But force people running perks like Flip Flop, tenacity, Unbreakable, MoM. Making solo survivor even more rough than it is by forcing thousands of people running it or other perks which from a killers perspective could become very annoying?

Yea no how about no.

But Im still excited for some future perk changes where perks get changed or buffed in a good way so that people tend to run them more often.
